Displays & pairing
Pairing a TV or browser to a display
How to connect a TV, Fire Stick, Chromebox, or any web browser to a SlideLobster display.
What you need
Anything that can open a web browser:
- A smart TV with a built-in browser
- A streaming stick (Amazon Fire Stick, Chromecast with Google TV, Apple TV with a browser app)
- A Mac mini, Raspberry Pi, or Chromebox plugged into the TV's HDMI port
How pairing works
- In SlideLobster, open the display you want to show, then click Pair a screen. You'll get a 6-character code.
- On the TV, open the browser and go to slidelobster.com/pair.
- Enter the code and tap Pair.
The TV will immediately switch to your live display.
Tips
- Pairing codes expire after 10 minutes for security. Generate a new one if it times out.
- Use fullscreen mode in the browser (F11 on most TVs) for the cleanest look.
- If your TV browser sleeps, disable screensavers / auto-sleep in the TV settings.
